Qinling Sacred Tree Chapter 11 Human Head

Since we entered the mountain, except for a few game animals given by the guide, we have only eaten dry food. We didn’t even eat a few bites of the game food before it was disturbed by the monkeys. Now that the slander has not passed, the old man When I was talking about fish, I said I wouldn't eat it, but actually my heart was already a little moved, and my mind was still imagining the scene of eating fish head hot pot on the sea. I have never eaten such a big fish and would like to try it here again.

But this damn knife shattered my dream. When I saw the bloody human head covered with stomach acid, superimposed with the scene of the fish head hotpot, I felt a wave of nausea rising up my throat, almost gushing out.

Lao Itch was usually very courageous. When it came to dead people, he had seen eight hundred out of every one thousand dead people. But when he saw this scene, his face turned pale and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.

Holding back my nausea, I turned the head over with a dagger and found that the skin on his face was slightly ulcerated, but the whole head was still relatively intact. It must have been eaten not long ago. The fish probably chewed the head when it was devouring it. After a few blows, the shape of the skull was slightly deformed, and the appearance could no longer be described in words, and it was difficult to determine who it was.

This man had not been in the fish stomach for long, that is to say, he had just died, so he should have been the man who came out of the village in the morning. Could this man be one of the few people we were following?

I walked over to the fish carcass, covered my nose with one hand, and used a dagger with the other hand to push away the things dripping from the fish's stomach, trying to see where the other parts of the man were, but I only found one hand. , there is no place on the hand that can tell the identity of this person.

I continued to look through it a few more times and found half of the backpack that had been swallowed by it. The contents inside had been mixed with the residue in my stomach. Except for those that I couldn't really give up, I pushed aside everything else. Although the dry food was well wrapped in plastic paper, I couldn't convince myself to eat it.

Suddenly, I saw a piece of black stuff in a ball of paste. Before I could pull it all out, Lao Itch had already shouted: "Fuck, it's the 'pat'."

I didn’t know what a slap shot was, and I guessed it must be some crooked talk he learned in prison. When I pulled it out, I saw it was a homemade pistol. This kind of gun is really very crude. Just saw the long barrel of a small-caliber double-barreled shotgun, and then repair the butt to look like a pistol. It has two barrels and can be shot twice, but it cannot eject the shell by itself. You have to take out the empty shell like a gun, so it can be used to shoot small beasts that have no attack power. If you encounter a beast, you can shoot it with one shot. If he hadn't been killed, by the time you finished loading and fired the second shot, his neck would have been bitten off. In addition, this gun is incredibly powerful at close range, but if it is more than 20 meters away, it can't even kill a dog. Its practicality is incomparable with that of a formal pistol.

I took out the gun and wiped everything on it on the ground. Then I took it out and took a look at the gun barrel. There were two shotgun rounds inside. There was also an iron box under the pistol barrel. There were probably Bafazi, four blue and four red, I don’t know what type they are. I thought that if it weren’t for one of the few people we were following,

Then this person may have come to the mountains to poach, and accidentally discovered this cave. He wanted to come in and have a look, but ended up feeding the fish. This is how unlucky people are. Who would have thought that there would be such a big carnivorous fish in this place.

This gun is a good thing, it can be used to save your life in an emergency, but there are too few guns. After Lao Itch took out his precious stick, he fiddled with the fish's stomach a few more times, but didn't find much. I looked at the fish's body and saw that apart from the few wounds we had caused, there were also There were also some small holes. The fish had been injured before it attacked us, but it was iron sand, so the damage was too small and it was not fatal.

If it wasn't injured, then our fate would probably be the same as the one in his belly.

Lao Itch pushed the head aside into the water and said: "This guy can be regarded as our benefactor, but it's a pity that he only has one head left, so we can't do anything we want. It's too dazzling, so it's better not to see it." "

I originally wanted to stop him, but the other end rolled very slippery and fell into the water all of a sudden. I said to him angrily: "Why the hell don't you stop like this? We are still doing this for a while." The water channel is going back, you are messing around here, will you feel disgusted if you step on the other end later?"

Lao Itch didn't take it seriously and said to me: "Then it's not disgusting for you to stare at him here? If you fall into the water, you can't see it anyway. If you step on it, it will be treated as a stone. You know what is under the water, maybe There are many internal organs and six lungs.”

I couldn't do anything about him, so I turned around to look at the place where the person's head fell into the water, thinking about avoiding that area when I got into the water later. Suddenly, I saw another dorsal fin quickly scratching out of the water, stirring in the water. After a while, he dived again.

When I saw this, I felt a thump in my heart. I thought I had seen it wrong, but the dorsal fin seemed to want to impress me more, and it drew another line on the water not far away. This fish was obviously bigger than the one we just killed. The one is smaller, but that's not a good thing. Small fish are flexible in the water. If they really fight, it may be more dangerous than before.

This fucking joke is too big. There are two Salmons in such a big area of ​​​​butt. How can they survive? Are there idiots like us coming here to die in half a day? Impossible. If this makes sense, why study the ecological environment?

Lao Itch was also stunned, and after a long time he said: "No, there must be other passages under the water surface of this mine tunnel. Otherwise, how could there be such a big fish? This fish must have swum from other places, **still There are more than one, how are we going to get out now?"

I couldn't turn my head around for a while. What he said made sense, and an idea came to my mind. Maybe the water here is connected to other underground rivers or rock veins, and connected to the outside world through these. It’s not surprising that fish appear here.

When I was studying architecture, there was a natural mechanics course that talked about geological structures. It was mentioned that there are often hollow areas in rocky mountains that were formed during the orogeny of the Archaic Era, called rock dykes. If the rock dykes are connected to mountain streams, it is possible to form a water system inside the mountain, and once the miners reach here. A huge accident may occur. Xiaoze washed away several mine tunnels. If it is large, it will flood the entire working surface. This water may not be rainwater now, but water flowing in from underground rock veins.

I thought about it, the water temperature here is so low. This may indeed be the reason.

Lao Itchi looked a little dazed when I didn't say anything. Asked me: "You can tell me, what should I do? This bonfire won't burn for long. When it goes out, let's just hug it in the dark to keep warm."

I said: "You have to give me time to think about it. What's the point of being anxious? There will definitely be a way to solve the problem."

At this time, venture out from this waterway again. I didn't want to die, so I looked back at the nearby mines, and an idea came to my mind, and I said: "Don't panic, the hole just now was blown out by someone. It's not a regular exit. There must be an exit for a mine, and if we go from here, we might be able to get out."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful. This kind of mining is just like piling for construction. There are many ways. I don’t know whether it’s straight down or by digging around the waist. If it’s the waist, it’s fine, as long as we can find the way. You can climb up. If it were to go straight down, this mine hole more than ten meters above the ground would definitely need a lifting device. All the things that were hundreds of years old would be rotten. Even if we could climb over eaves and walls, we wouldn't be able to climb up.

Lao Itch didn't have much confidence in me and asked me: "Don't tell me, you are so damn sure of what you said. Are you sure of yourself? Don't be like when you were a kid. You make good plans when you say them, but they are full of loopholes when you do them." , and made me take the blame again. When I was a kid, I could only get a meal, but now it’s a business that needs to be stopped. You have to think clearly."

I also murmured in my heart, but the habit of saving face came back, and I said: "How can you come up with so much nonsense? There were many successful times when I was a child. Now we can only bite the bullet, or we can just follow the trend." Let’s go back by water and see who survives.”

I didn't say anything back when I said this, but for a moment, I seemed to see a look of success on his face. I was shocked, but then I looked at him and saw nothing strange.

I hesitated for a moment, then Lao Itchy asked me to pack my things. Seeing that the clothes were almost dry, we immediately put them on and put all the necessary things into our pockets.

When I came, I expected that we might abandon our backpacks when we entered the battle, so our clothes were mountaineering clothes with many pockets, similar to the mouse clothes during the Republic of China. However, when we were finished preparing, we found that My own image is really funny, just like two Christmas trees.

Lao Itch turned on the flashlight and opened the way in front. He asked me for the racket. At this time, I kept an eye on it and said, "I'm better at using guns than you, so just clear the way in front of me and take cover." Just leave it to me. If something happens later, you are in a hurry and kill me first. Didn’t I die unjustly?"

Lao Itch wanted to refute me, but what I said was the truth. He scratched his head and had to agree. The two of us chose the largest mine and went straight in.

It was so damn dark in the mine at first, and we were quite panicked after walking for a long time, but nothing happened as we walked. I was feeling itchy and bored, and asked me, "I said this mine is really weird. Tell me, what’s going on with the big stone sculpture on the cliff, and does it have anything to do with this mine?”

I recalled that huge statue, its head and half of its body were blown away. I can’t tell exactly what happened. The main thing is that I didn’t see the head of the statue. I don’t know whether it was a human or a god. My knowledge is mostly It has something to do with antiques. Questions in this category really baffle me.

But looking at the location of this statue, I can think about it the other way around. Maybe the villagers here originally intended to carve a statue in this Jiazi ditch, but when they were carving, they accidentally discovered a mineral vein, and then they dug mine holes in other places. , slowly turned this place into a mine. There are many such things in county annals and notebooks and novels. As for why they wanted to carve portraits on the cliff in the first place, it is not important at all and cannot be speculated. For things like the Leshan Giant Buddha, the reasons are often It's just someone's idea. I don't have to try to figure out what the ancients thought.

My level can only guess up to this point, but it is enough to bluff someone of Laochi's level. He was stunned for a long time and then said: "If it doesn't matter, that's best. I look at that stone hand." , the damn sculpture looks real, it’s really scary, no matter what you think, it’s weird.”

I also find it strange that there was no realism in ancient times, and whatever was carved was a little abstract. A style like this is too weird, and it sounds a bit evil, especially since I didn’t see the face of the statue. I was worried about it. Huai, I always feel that there might be something wrong with that face...

After thinking about walking for a long time, Lao Itch's flashlight started to flicker and the battery was almost used up. We stopped to change the battery. The only problem with this flashlight is that it consumes too much power. A general tactical flashlight can be used continuously. More than 5 hours, this one only lasts about 3 hours, but fortunately it can use dry batteries.

I turned on the flashlight to give Laochi some light. He took out the dry battery from his pocket, squatted on the ground and started to unscrew the back cover of the flashlight. Suddenly his foot kicked something, and there was a clicking sound. I moved the light over. When I took the photo, I saw a rusty iron ring embedded in the ground.

He and I looked at each other, feeling baffled. I walked past, and my heart skipped a beat. The iron ring was obviously connected to a trap door on the ground. Although the iron ring was very rusty, there were many Rust was peeling around, so it was obvious that someone had opened the trap door recently.

Lao Itch blew away the dust on the ground and revealed a stone slab with the iron ring embedded in it. He knocked on it and found it was hollow inside. He said, "It's strange. There seems to be something down here? Do you want to open it and take a look?" ?”

Even though he said that, his hand was already lifting the iron ring, as if I would definitely agree.

I suddenly felt something strange in my heart, and I suddenly realized it. I grabbed his shoulders and said to him: "No need to act. You have been here long ago. How many things are you hiding from me?"
